SLX Replacement Pack, Mod, and Addons

[df2dpxs 0]

I tried to read the precedent 55 pages and maybe i haven't seen but...

Clearly, with group link 3, in the mission editor, what i have to do for having AI group calling artillery support with CoC UA 1.1 ? or maybe it works only with UA 1.0 ? Anyway what i have to place in the editor, triggers markers units I don't know !

Please Help me i don't know how to do

@SNKMAN

Was wondering if you got any of SLX goodies working in ARMA and how you did it. I know this isn't the proper thread but it would feel blasphemous to open an SLX discussion in ARMA without Solus

...The current [FFUR]1.01 patch actually replaces the M24 by the SR25, just for the reasons you mentioned...

As I mention previously T-Bird, FFUR doesn't replace the M21/24 with SR-25. But I just discovered what does, and thought I'd let you know, you might have been confussing Sanctuary's GRAA Mod3 - wow, that's a gamers rifle!

Anybody know if there's a vehicle replacement pack; one that swaps out BIS's default vehicles, replaced with something like Inquisitor's or Combat's quality M1A1's, M3A2's, 5Ton's, Hummer's etc? Also a Helo swap out or replacement pack, or are these just too hard on PC's?

Check it out once again,

The M21 has been replaced by the M24 and the M24 by the SR-25,

Actually, the Sniper M24 is additional in game, and if you would play again BIS missions that were using M21s you would have SR-25 instead.

(Make sure you have the patch 1.01, though.)

TB

Ah, OK, I knew you had said 1.01 before but never saw it and assumed a type error. I downloaded these from your current release HERE, never did see the 1.01 patch.

At least I know you know; and you know I don't know - Good to know - Ya know???

Cant blame the guy he kinda work himself to death  

No blame from here; I've mentioned before how amazed I am he keeps up with everyone's posts in here, addresses issues, and lives real life too - way too much work.

He must be very skinny.

@froggyluv

Yes i got it to work in ArmA but so far i only use the Effect's [ Burning, Tracers, Dust, Wind, Damage and so on ] and i cut out Group Link 3 becouse it seem's to work not that good in ArmA. ( So far i use Group Link 2 with SLX )

Well i tryed to convert the Mod completly but there are so much thing's which can not been used in ArmA so it's impossible to convert this Mod keeping the way Solus did it.

SLX got many own Animations and a lot of other stuff and most Script's don't work correctly without it...

So only thing to do, is to wait till Solus release his new ArmA Masterpiece.

Oh man you gotta share how your getting those effects! I can live without GL3 (for now) if I could even just get those tracers

[snkman 351]

Hey froggyluv,

sorry didn't check the Thread for a while...

Of course i will share it with you

Well i already tryed to convert the latest SLX script by myself but i can't get it to work, so i use the one Sickboy (6th Sense) did.

Here you go: SLX Effects + Group Link 2

Sickboy did not convert those as far as I know, Solus did, these are beta version scripts of the ArmA version he is/was building

Any word on Solus though?

[froggyluv 2136]

Thanks SNKMAN! I'm not sure how you got all of those SLX effects though- do you just use the oldschool method of mod=@SLX in the target or do you need to do some 'inits'? So far tracers,wounding looks like vanilla ARMA.

[snkman 351]

Really? Well as far as i can see the Script Sickboy uses is exactly the same like OFP SLX there was just replaced/added "{}","compile" and some other stuff.

I also could no found a SLX beta of the Script released by Solus.

@froggyluv

I use the ArmA Launcher ( 1.1 ) but it's the same like using "mod=@SLX"

What do you mean by "vanilla"?

You should only load the addon @SLX and check out the Example mission i uploaded with SLX.

To me everything look's fine.

[paragraphic l 2]

Beta was PM-ed to both Sick and me, as far as I know he just placed that one in the Mod as he could start getting into the script and how it works

Solus did change some stuff in the script as there where some bugs earlier on

[sickboy 13]

Don't remember much of it but I think I changed some settings and disabled some constructs and did some extra fixing here and there but don't remember ;p

Im working on a project atm which will be used together with GL2 and GL3. As soon as it's ready I will continue the GL3 stuff.

[Georilla 6]

I have a question, I want to enable SLX AND FFUR 2007 together WITH ALL effects from SLX including wounds etc..

I know it might be more instable, but can it be possible?

Help appreciated!

[jackass888 0]

pretty much all effects worked with ffur2006 and 2007 normal but it was not very stable. you could try to override FFUR/SLX 2007 with the slx normal config.

is there any way to disable slx stuff on some soldiers? i want to kill zombies with slx+ecp but the slx anims dont work right on the zombies.

Can anyone tell me how to make tonalredux work with

SLX; it seems to me its working without the SLX effects

I created a bin with the SLX+Tonal Config from SLX 1.093

and no effects....I also used @slx;@tonalredux...

please anyone assist me with this. thanks

I don't have tonal anymore but i did have that config. work in the past. Try copying all of the addons out of SLX and putting them in your tonal addons or such. I once had to do that with ffur2007/slx and it worked.

I don't have Tonal or SLX installed, but i believe you would take a fresh OFP Resistance patched to 1.96, add TR according to it's readme.

Then add SLX and update according to it's readme, and open

"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\@SLX\Mod Configs\@TonalRedux+@SLX\bin" folder, Copy/Paste the config.cpp file from there, into the bin folder of the "@Tonal redux" folder.

If it doesn't have a bin folder (and probably doesn't), Paste it into \Res\Bin folder. In either case, if you do see a config.cpp file, just rename it (so wont be over written) b4 u paste,

Create a shortcut off the FASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE, open it's Properties and add the switch  -nosplash -mod=@Tonalredux; -mod=@SLX one space after the last quote on the Target line.

Run the game from the Shortcut.

Hello,

I am using SLX without any additional Mods, and I love it.

But somehow SLX messes up the ammo counter.

without SLX:

with SLX:

does anybody have an idea how to fix this?

Thx in advance,

Jander

It's meant to be like that for realism's sake.

well then - sorry for bothering you with this stupid question... seems that I am a typical case of "RTFM" here

Heh, it's alright, quite a few people have asked that question. You can remove the feature if you want but I don't know how.

Changed weapon dropping for surrendering and dragging enemies, possibly resolved crash.

More changes to drop weapon effect to reduce crashes.

Thanks to everyone who has given feedback in the thread! This is a full release so you don't need any previous versions. The intention of this version was to make OFP SLX as stable as possible and streamline the gameplay of the 1985 campaign. There might still be one rare random CTD but playing through most of the 1985 campaign should be mostly bug free and stable. I also moved all unit configs to separate files so it should be easier for people to make unit replacement configs.

If anyone has time and wants to test either the OFP SLX Mod or the ArmA SLX Mod please PM me for the link to the SLX bug tracker/download.

[jackass888 0]

great progress but still has some problems

the ak74 optics are missing with ECP+SLX and also had 2 crashes with battlefields. other then that everything was perfect.

And i would love to test future slx releases for ofp/arma!
